Lion in the Valley by Elizabeth Peters
Reader Reviews 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Not the best in a great series, May 4, 2001 Reviewer: c-c-peterson from Colorado I never thought it would be work to read an Amelia Peabody mystery. Still, at the end of each chapter of Lion in the Valley, I found myself easily distracted. This is most disappointing as this is one of my favorite mystery series. Many of the usual attributes are present including Amelia's pithy wit and Ramses' precociousness. What seems to be missing is the mystery. Oh, there's a vague hint of a threat and then a vague, unsatisfying finish to the book. But the tension never really takes off. Bottom-line: A pleasant read for those already familiar with the series but a poor choice if you've never read any other books in the Amelia Peabody series.
